I picked up this Zuki a couple of years ago from a guy who did the Suzuki 2.0 motor and TH180 swap. It has leaked tranny fluid from day 1. I decided to look into that. I have not seen pictures of this type of detail...so lets eat up some bandwidth.

Here is the rig all clean...

Pulled off the skid plate. All kinds of fluid and gunk in it...

I was not able to get to everything I needed to. So I decided cutting the tunnel was easier vs tranny removal. I will weld this shut when I'm finished.

I discovered the kickdown cable has a huge cut in the housing. It was leaking fluid and likely allowing dirt in.

Before and after I cleaned that area up...

Had to remove the lines so I could get to the kickdown to replace it...

The 1st cable I ordered was cheap plastic and did not fit. The 2nd cable was the correct one and fit perfect.

Next issue was the modulator. It was leaking a bit where it screws into the tranny. Also, the transmission was struggling recently...white smoke out the pipe. Reading up...that says replace this widget.

Easy way is drill about a 5/8 or 3/4 hole weld a low profile nut on the inside of the same size use a short flange bolt or even a drain plug with a gasket. No need to worry about being 100% welded on inside as the washer on outside seals it up

If you remove the hose at the end of the modulator, there is a small screw inside. You can adjust the shift firmness. I set it more firm and the it now semi-launches when you go between gears on the selector. Giddy-up :grinpimp:

Might never finish this but that's what I said about the first one. It's keeping me busy fabbing - there's just something about angle grinders that I love... I've got 80-90% of the parts already, so I figured might as well build another buggy. My current build really exceeded my expectations so...

Hey guys, took my t-case apart to install 6.5 gears. My shift forks are stuck in place. I have the gears ready to be put in, but I still have not figured out how to get the shift fork out. The way it is set up now I can’t line up the gears to make sure that they are all flush. Any idea on what I...

My father just bought a 88 samurai. I namrd it the banana hammock. It appears to have a hanger lift and they did a spoa. I have only got some pictures and I was tasked to make it drivable. So Ive been researching and cant figure out what direction to go. A lot of the info Ive seen is from at...

Hey all,
I’m assembling my 1.3l, using the high compression flat top pistons, p/n PA88000HP.50, with a 1324 block and crank.
I’ve got the rotating assembly together and I’m trying to figure out what went wrong. The pistons are .034-.039” above the Deck. This won’t work I don’t believe, but this...
